D17 absolutely wants to attend a school with intercollegiate sports that are at least somewhat competitive. She has always loved the atmosphere of school sporting events and the school spirit which they create. D is also just a big sports fan overall, so attending a school where she couldn’t go watch competitive games is unimaginable to her.
She is also looking for schools with broad intramural sports programs since she thinks that would be very enjoyable, but intercollegiate sports are much more of a requirement.
